The applicable information set forth in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 18, 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an opinion in Salzberg v. Sciabacucchi , No. 346,2019 upholding the validity of provisions in the certificates of incorporation of Delaware companies that limit to federal court the forum in which a stockholder is able to bring a claim under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“federal forum provisions”). This decision reverses a prior holding by the Delaware Chancery Court in December 2018 invaliding such federal forum provisions (the “Chancery Court decision”).

Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a similar federal forum provision. Following the Chancery Court decision, we announced on December 26, 2018 that we did not intend to enforce the foregoing federal forum provision unless the Chancery Court decision were reversed. In light of the recent decision by the Delaware Supreme Court, however, we may now resume enforcement of the federal forum provision found in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation in the future.
